Expectations

In my second month on the job, I gained access to the S: Drive - the "communal" drive where everyone stores documents - for programs, for volunteers, front desk information, marketing materials. I went on an exploration spree and ended up at the performance review of the past Americorps member, Colette. I knew it wasn't professional, not to mention personally beneficial, to go in and read it - but what would you do? That's right, you would read it.

On a scale of 1 to 5...5, 5, 5, 5, 5. Colette is the best, Colette never needed guidance, we love Colette. Combined with the affectionate comments from staff, it sadly is my natural reaction to feel competitive and automatically somewhat inadequate.

So it was nice to actually meet the famous Colette - put a flesh-and-blood face on the legendary name. Sure, she is gorgeous and perfect at her current job (well, I can only speculate but I'm sure she is) but it helped my little ego boost itself up again.

Besides that, I spend my time daydreaming about summer weather and post-Americorps life. Namely Peace Corps. Or political internships. Also, fielding job offers. Mwahahaha! Not quite as great as it sounds, but Jennifer of Salvation Army offered me an October through December job helping coordinate their holiday program and Kate's mom/Kate said I should work on her campaign in November. So not really a job offer, but cool opportunity nonetheless.

Love you all - all two of you!
